The Maestre lab starts to publish and share databases

With the
aim to foster the use and public impact of the research carried out at the
Maestre lab, we are starting to share all the research data we produce. This
will be a slow process, given the large amount of data we have gathered over
the years (and are gathering right now!), but we will do it in a continuous way
(as we say in Spain “sin prisa pero sin pausa”, i.e. without hurry but without
stop). Our idea is to release all the data associated with every future paper
as soon as they are published, and to prepare and share all the data from
papers already published that may be of broad interest.

We will post
and share our data using different ways, such as data papers (in Ecology or
in Dataset Papers in Ecology), online appendices to the articles
posted in the journal´s webpage (as we have recently done with our
multifunctionality paper published in Science)
or public repositories such as Dryad, which is widely used by the ecological and
evolutionary scientific community.

These are
the first databases going open, which have been posted on Dryad:
